A soft, chewy, and flavorful sugar cookie. It is very important to chill the dough, as it is too sticky to roll unless well chilled.

There are so many things we love about this Christmas cookie cutout recipe. It doesn't make a ton of cookies and is easy to throw together - perfect if you just want a little treat. The cookie itself is sweet, tender, buttery and has a richness thanks to the cream cheese. By itself, it's a delicious Christmas cookie. We love that...

CREAM CHEESE SUGAR COOKIES



Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies image

These are great because they are so easy, and they don't take much time. I love sugar cookies, and adding the cream cheese gives it twist.

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Cream butter and cream cheese in large mixer bowl.
  • Beat in sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Stir in flour and baking powder.
  • Chill several hours (I would say 3 hours).
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roll dough into small balls.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Flatten with a glass that has been dipped in vanilla sugar (sugar in which you have stored a vanilla bean) or plain sugar.
  • Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your cookies. Use real butter, cream cheese, and pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a lighter, more tender cookie.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These cream cheese sugar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be decorated with your favorite frosting, sprinkles, or other toppings. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
